It'll be very snowy right now. The descent north from the col requires care in avalanche conditions, but it should always be possible to link turfy ribs and stay clear of the deep stuff, assuming it's still daylight and you can see stuff.

In reply to Palomino1hills: went up on Saturday (should have left earlier though) 1st of the season great walk in powered up the 1st wee gully to find some crusty slabby snow to the right we were cautious & decided to go left ,six in the party, time was getting on we didnít summit all in all a good start good to get out
